Caution

This article applies to Shorewall 3.0 and
later. If you are running a version of Shorewall earlier than Shorewall
3.0.0 then please see the documentation for that
release.

Beginning with Shorewall version 1.4.8, Shorewall can interface to
ftwall. ftwall is part of the p2pwall project and is a
user-space filter for applications based on the “Fast Track”
peer to peer protocol. Applications using this protocol include Kazaa,
KazaaLite, iMash and Grokster.

To filter traffic from your “loc” zone with ftwall, you
insert the following rules in the ESTABLISHED section of
/etc/shorewall/rules file after any DROP or REJECT rules whose source is the
“loc” zone.
